Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, be subject to your husbands as you are to the Lord. For the husband ...is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church, the body of which he is the Savior. Just as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives ought to be, in everything, to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her...LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

All I know is that first, you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a human being, goddamn it, my life has value.' So I want ...you to get up now, I want all of you to get up out of yourchairs. I want you to get up right now, and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore.'LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

There is a tendency to discuss surrealism and cubism as if one proceeds out of the other, but in fact there is no similarity. Cubi...sm was a way of painting that a group of painters imposed on themselves, surrealism a philosophy of life put forward by a band of poets. The first was essentially a method of breaking up the object and putting it together again according to concepts of pictorial structure, a phase of the greatest importance in the development of such painters as Picasso, Braque, Marcoussis, and Gris, but affecting literature only through Apollinaire, and life hardly at all. The second was the attempt of a highly organized group to change life altogether, to make a new kind of man.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

And now good morrow to our waking souls,Which watch not one another out of fear;...For love all love of other sights controls,And makes one little room an everywhere.Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone,Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown,Let us possess one world; each hath one, and is one.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

We may suspect that makers of jokes and smart remarks resemble poets at least in this, that they too would be excluded from Plato'...s Republic; for it is of the nature of Utopia and the Crystal Palace, as Dostoevsky said, that you can't stick your tongue out at it. A joke expresses tension, which it releases in laughter; it is a sort of permissible rebellion against things as they are--permissible, perhaps, because this rebellion is at the same time stoically resigned, it acknowledges that things are as they are, and that they will, after the moment of laughter, continue to be that way. That is why jokes concentrate on the most sensitive areas of human concern: sex, death, religion, and the most powerful institutions of society; and poems do the same.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

A glorious Church is like a magnificent feast; there is all the variety that may be, but every one chooses out a dish or two that ...he likes, and lets the rest alone: how glorious soever the Church is, every one chooses out of it his own religion, by which he governs himself, and lets the rest alone.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
